Im looking to buy an air compressor for my garage around the 100litre size.

Whats the best value for money?

Is belt driven better?

What's the quietest you can get? if thats possible?

Any ideas and opinions would be great as ive never owned one.

Thanks

belt driven ones tend to be quieter, 100ltr should be fine for spraying pannels, more if you take your time. (ive used a 50ltr one for years, not sure on the cfm) The higher cfm the better really.

simply get the one with the biggest reservoir that you can afford..
